True. Also, it should be as simple as "file->print", no?

Except that probably the majority of people using LyX aren't from America.
(For example, about 80-90% of the core developers aren't from the US.)
And even among those from America, plenty are far too young to have seen
Lost in Space.
Aside from the cultural boundary of not knowing who Will Robinson is, lots
of people who use LyX don't know English all that well, so all they'll see
is the "DANGER, DANGER". Then add the fact that the docs often get
translated (Intro is in 10 languages now, by my count), and who knows what
the warnings will look like there?
Yes, it's funny. No, it's not language/culture-portable.
